Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-2419: ---------------------------------- It would be preferable to not need additional threads--we put significant effort into designing it to work without the need for a background "tick" thread. Is it too complex to just expire sensors as part of other work? > Allow certain Sensors to be garbage collected after inactivity > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2419 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2419 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: Aditya Auradkar > Assignee: Aditya Auradkar > Priority: Blocker > Labels: quotas > Fix For: 0.9.0.0 > > > Currently, metrics cannot be removed once registered. > Implement a feature to remove certain sensors after a certain period of > inactivity (perhaps configurable). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
